Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter (unsalted)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl or blender, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Add the milk, eggs, melted butter, and water to the bowl or blender.
Whisk or blend the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. If any lumps persist, strain the batter through a fine mesh sieve.
Cover the batter and let it rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. This helps the gluten relax and ensures tender crepes.
After resting, stir the batter gently. If it seems too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time to thin it out until it reaches the consistency of heavy cream.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the skillet. Immediately swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges of the crepe start to lift slightly and the underside turns golden brown.
Flip the crepe using a thin spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the second side is lightly golden.
Transfer the finished crepe to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve warm with desired savory fillings such as sautéed mushrooms, spinach, chicken, or cheese.
